چکیده
Definition 1.1 (Direct Products). Let {Gα}α∈I be a collection of groups indexed by an index set I. We may form the Cartesian product ∏ α∈I Gα. The elements of this Cartesian product can be denoted by tuples (aα)α∈I . We refer to the entry aα as the αth component of this tuple. We define a multiplication on this Cartesian product componentwise, i.e., (aα) ⋆ (bα) = (aα ⋆α bα) where ⋆α is the group multiplication in Gα. It is easy to check that this makes ∏ α∈I Gα into a group with identity element (eα)α∈I where eα is the identity element of Gα for each α ∈ I. When the index set I = {1, 2, . . . , n} is finite we usually write ∏ α∈I Gα as ∏n i=1 Gi or sometimes more simply as G1 × · · · × Gn. Finally when the index set I = N we write ∏ α∈N Gα as ∏∞ i=0 Gi.

متن کاملThe Quasi-morphic Property of Group
A group is called morphic if for each normal endomorphism α in end(G),there exists β such that ker(α)= Gβ and Gα= ker(β). In this paper, we consider the case that there exist normal endomorphisms β and γ such that ker(α)= Gβ and Gα = ker(γ). We call G quasi-morphic, if this happens for any normal endomorphism α in end(G). We get the following results: G is quasi-morphic if and only if, for any ...
متن کاملAbelian subgroup separability of some one-relator groups
Following Malcev [5], we will call a subgroup M of a group G finitely separable if for any element g ∈ G, not belonging to M, there exists a homomorphism φ of group G onto some finite group X such that gφ / ∈Mφ. This is equivalent to the statement that for any element g ∈ G \M, there exists a normal subgroup N of finite index in G such that g / ∈MN . A group G is subgroup separable if each of i...
متن کاملCommensurability and Qi Classification of Free Products of Finitely Generated Abelian Groups
We give the commensurability classifications of free products of finitely many finitely generated abelian groups. We show this coincides with the quasi-isometry classification and prove that this class of groups is quasiisometrically rigid. The following gives the complete commensurability and quasi-isometry classification of free products of finitely generated abelian groups. The quasi-isometr...
متن کاملElementary Equivalence and Profinite Completions: a Characterization of Finitely Generated Abelian-by-finite Groups
In this paper, we show that any finitely generated abelian-byfinite group is an elementary submodel of its profinite completion. It follows that two finitely generated abelian-by-finite groups are elementarily equivalent if and only if they have the same finite images. We give an example of two finitely generated abelian-by-finite groups G, H which satisfy these properties while G x Z and H x Z...
